Reaction of (Na-K)ATPase with 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole: evidence for an essential tyrosine at the active site. 1978

L C Cantley, and J Gelles, and L Josephson

The reaction of 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole [NBD-Cl] with purified eel electrophax Na+ and K+ stimulated adenosine triphosphatase [(Na-K)ATPase] has been monitored by changes in the (Na-K)ATPase activity, the K+ stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase [PNPase] activity, and the protein ultraviolet absorption spectrum. The NBD-Cl reacts with two tyrosine residues per mol of enzyme (approximately 6-7 nmol/mg of protein), as judged by changes in protein absorption spectra and incorporation of [14C]NBD-Cl. The modified tyrosine groups are located on the Mr = 95 000 polypeptide chain and react at different rates. Only one tyrosine modification is necessary for complete inhibition of (Na-K)ATPase activity, although both must be modified for complete inhibition of PNPase activity. Reversal of these modifications by 2-mercaptoethanol restores 65% of both activities. Na+ increases the rate of tyrosine modification, K+ decreases the rate, and ATP affords the more reactive tyrosine group complete protection. NBD-Cl modification of approximately 6-7 nmol of tyrosine groups/mg of protein results in a large decrease in ATP affinity as judged by equilibrium binding. These results are compared with similar results obtained from NBD-Cl modification of the coupling factors of oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation. A model is presented suggesting an asymmetric arrangement of two 95 000 polypeptide chains with a single tyrosine residue at the ATP site.

D004557 Electric Organ In about 250 species of electric fishes, modified muscle fibers forming disklike multinucleate plates arranged in stacks like batteries in series and embedded in a gelatinous matrix. A large torpedo ray may have half a million plates. Muscles in different parts of the body may be modified, i.e., the trunk and tail in the electric eel, the hyobranchial apparatus in the electric ray, and extrinsic eye muscles in the stargazers. Powerful electric organs emit pulses in brief bursts several times a second. They serve to stun prey and ward off predators. A large torpedo ray can produce of shock of more than 200 volts, capable of stunning a human. (Storer et al., General Zoology, 6th ed, p672) Electric Organs,Organ, Electric,Organs, Electric
